Defendants' Transcript

Defendant's transcript

An effort was made to obtain the defendant's portion of the trial transcript. Unfortunately, it had not been transcribed at the time of the case (the state of Arkansas did not appeal Overton's ruling). This meant that we would be paying page transcription charges, not just copying charges. However, the court reporter said that her request for the original shorthand record came back with a "not found" result. These materials have apparently been mislaid at the storage facility that the state of Arkansas uses for older legal records. We are trying to come up with ways to get a more thorough search done so that these materials can be transcribed.

The article linked to below by science writer Roger Lewin contains a description of the defense witnesses testimony and includes transcriptions of small portions of the testimony given by of some of them during the trial.

Dembski, as the director of the center, also commented on the report in a one-paragraph e-mail message following its release. "The report marks the triumph of intelligent design as a legitimate form of academic inquiry. This is a great day for academic freedom," Dembski began. He concluded by observing that "Dogmatic opponents of design who demanded the Center be shut down have met their Waterloo. Baylor University is to be commended for remaining strong in the face of intolerant assaults on freedom of thought and expression."
